Thanks for your imput but your wrong.

Go read the article called " FIREARM STORAGE PATTERNS IN THE US HOMES WITH CHILDRE" Then come back and tell me I am on the wrong track. What I am about is trying to put an end to accidental shootings. Are you aware that since 1979 until now over 70,000 people have died by accidental shooting. Five times that # have been injured. So far nothing invented has put a stop to that. That is what I got started.

I have noticed a lot of people saying its stupid, idiotic, insulting etc, etc yet no one else has an answer. If your into guns like I am we are taught to leave the firing chamber empty and always treat a gun like its loaded. Yet if you take the time to read some the accidental shooting stories you'll find it was ususally done by a kid that found a gun or by someone doing something stupid.

I would have hoped that we could all be on the same side pushing for gun safety. Instead what I am seeing is a lot of hate mail and slams. Sad.

This is going to be on the market and it is going to save a lot of lives I hope you use some kind of safety device.

The answer has been given on this thread over and over. Education and training. I have five kids, my parents had four, and so on. We all followed that course and have nnot had a problem. I know hundreds of friends who are the same.

Like I said, if there ever is an accident in our home, that is exactly what it will be and we will find solace with our God the same as if lightning struck one of us.

In the mean time, my kids are well trained, all of their friends know the score and our firearms are available for use in the, God forbid, event we need them to protect our lives and/or proerty. I do not, and will not use any device that has any chance of limiting that. All of the safety devices I have seen have great potential to do just that ... ncluding this one IMHO. When truly needed, they are needed now.

You have every right to disagree and pursue a different course and I hope you do make a difference and save lives. In the mean time, I will preach my particular brand of addressing the issue (education and training) and the potential dangers of these other avenues ... just as you pursue your own.
